\n It's hard to think of a more quotable American humorist t
han Mark Twain\, author of The Adventur
es of Huckleberry Finn\, The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and other class
ics. Drawing selections from Sketches N
ew and Old\, Twain's book of fictional stories\, Telling Twain offers a look into the writer's lesser-k
nown tales\, while also offering a look at the man himself. Set in 1890 at
Twain's home in Hartford\, Connecticut\, the show captures Twain's 10-yea
r-old daughter Jean asking her father about his stories. As he begins to r
eply\, a group of 'fans' appears and brings those stories to life with all
the wit and poignancy that Twain intended.
